During my college years, I did earn some money as a "figure model" for college and personal-interest art classes. The pay was good for the work required - holding the same position for 30 to 45 minutes.
I posed fully clothed, nude and in-between. If you are uncomfortable with certain things, such as nudity, or striking a pose that my contravene any religious beliefs that you hold, then say so up front.
I did enjoy the work.

Just checked out your photos. Don't worry -- you look good. The purpose of modeling in these kinds of situations isn't supposed to determine whether or not you're desirable. But, just to clarify, you look pretty good man.

Thank you... you are way too kind! I'm fine with the rest of my not-fit bod... but those love handles that jumped on me without warning... bother me to no end!
I doubt I'd enjoy that personally. I'm quite fidgety and doubt I'd enjoy sitting without moving at all for 30 to 60 minutes.
Did you check the sub-forum the thread's in? Might be a clue...

I was quoting Zoolander. hahaha
I'm "following" you. Be sure to keep in touch, sir. I think body acceptance is key. I know -- easier said than done.

I can’t speak to modeling however I have been behind the camera many times.
Back when Craigslist M4M was alive and well, I posted ads offering to take pics of guys nude. I never charged as it was fun for me and I got a lot of practice. It was a really simple model — I’d buy a memory card, they would reimburse me for the card, I’d take the photos, upload them to their computer and give them the memory card. I would take the photos at their place or somewhere outside — not hard to find where I lived. I was pretty good at it and knew how to place them in poses so they’d look their best. The vast majority of guys thought it was going to be a simple snap, snap, snap and done. They were surprised that most sessions lasted a couple of hours, how many photos I took and that it was actually work for them to pose. (Even though I always set expectations up front.) Most of my “clients” were gay and with about half of them we ended up fooling around. I photographed a couple of dozen guys that came in from Craigslist or via word of mouth. Several guys I photographed several times. I always got a kick out of seeing a Craigslist ad from one of the guys that included a pic that I’d taken.
One referral came in from a friend of mine. He had been working out at the gym we both went to. One of his friends was a trainer. He overheard his trainer friend talking to his client. His client was a straight, good looking, handsome exec, early 40’s, nice athletic body. He’d gotten divorced in the last year and had been working out hard and on a strict diet for a good eight months. They were talking about how much progress he’d made and how good he looked. The client mentioned that he wish he’d taken some before pics and maybe he should at least get some taken now. (He didn’t mention nudes.) Later when my friend was leaving he approached his trainer friend who was between clients. He told him about me (the trainer knew me in passing) and the photography work that I did. Several days later the trainer casually mentioned me to his client, his client was interested and I received an email from him. We met up for coffee. I had seen him at the gym a few times but not often as our gym schedules were different. I always thought he was good looking and in good shape but I could tell, even in his office clothes, he’d made a lot of improvement. (I asked my friend if he’d ever seen him naked — we had an open shower room — and he said no but he had seen him in a towel or just his briefs a couple of times and he looked good.) I asked him to tell me about the photos he wanted and he said he wanted some for online dating, some taken inside and some outside, a few change of clothes. Then he mentioned that he’d been working out and he’d like some that showed off the progress he’d made for his “own purposes” (of course). I could tell he was a little reluctant to talk about about what he really wanted to say. I probed with some specific questions — e.g., “Are you thinking like shirt off in shorts? Maybe some swimwear photos? In your underwear?” He looked around the coffeehouse and then said, “Yes. That sounds about right.” I sensed he wanted more types but was reluctant to say. So I told him my next few questions may be a little uncomfortable but I was asking simply to understand what he was looking for. I bluntly asked him if he wanted some nude photos or thought that he may want some nude photos once we started the shoot. He nodded his head yes. I told him if he thought he wanted nudes not to wear any underwear or pants with elastic waistbands before the shoot to prevent markings on his waist. Since he was wearing a t shirt and I couldn’t tell I asked him if he had a hairy chest and stomach or was smooth. He said hairy. I then asked him if he was a manscaper. He said sometimes and they he would manscape before the shoot. I told him given what I could tell about him not to over-coif himself, just trim the bush, shave his cock and balls. I also told him given that he’s hairy, his bush should not be shorter than his chest and stomach hair. He thanked me for the tip. I acknowledged that it sounded simple and shared some clients really messed it up. He laughed again.
Through my friend’s trainer friend we were hooked up with a great location on a Sunday morning. It was a private gym in an industrial section. It had a couple of alleys, the inside was well lit and we had access to the rooftop terrace. It was perfect. My “client” arrive wearing jeans and a t shirt and a duffel bag of clothes. We started outside in the alleys, him in jeans and changing shirts. In the back alley I told him I wanted to do some shirtless pics. His chest was well defined with a thick mat of hair. He had broad shoulders, big, defined arms, a flat stomach and a narrow waist. He looked really good. At this point I felt that he was getting comfortable so I asked him to unbutton his jeans and he did. I then told him to unzip them a little. He did but it didn’t look right. I walked over to him and asked him if he was comfortable with me touching him to adjust his clothing or pose. He said yes. I told him it may get a little personal but it was all with the intent of getting good photos. He said he was ok with it. I then adjusted his jeans so that he was showing a peek of bush (no underwear confirmed that he wanted nudes) and took some photos. I then placed my hand on his crotch and adjusted his size-able junk and the crotch seam of his jeans to give him more of a package and took some more pics. I then unzipped his jeans some more. His cock was flopped to his left and I wanted it hanging straight. I reached in his jeans, grabbed his cock and adjusted it. He didn’t flinch. Now with about an inch of the base of his thick cock exposed I took some more pics.
He told me he had some shorts, polo shirts and different underwear in his bag. We headed up to the rooftop terrace. He took off his jeans and reached into his bag. His body was beautiful! The guy was ripped. Incredible ass; strong legs; and thick, long cock and big balls. Before putting on his shorts he turned toward me and asked, “How did I do?” while running his fingers through his trimmed bush and hand over his shaved cock and balls. I smiled and said, “Great job!” I took a bunch of photos of him on the rooftop in various changes of clothes. We then headed into the gym.
I told him we should do the nudes next. I didn’t even ask him, I just went in that direction. My hunch was correct. He said sure. He got naked and I took a bunch of photos of him in various poses as well as working out/ lifting poses. He was not shy at all about camera angles or uncomfortable with me touching him to help him get in a better pose or telling him how to flop his cock so that it would look better. One of the best photo sets was him on the incline bench doing reverse flies. Great arm and back definition, his hot ass spread, the back of his cock and balls.
He then said, “I’d like to get some that are a little more...” and he paused. I asked, “Provocative?” And he said yes. I asked, “With your cock hard?” And he replied yes. The whole time his cock had been soft. I could sense he was a little uncomfortable to just start stroking in front of me so I told him I’d stop outside to make a couple of calls and give him some privacy. He laughed and said thanks. (Yes. I know. I could have offered to suck his cock but the vibe I’d picked up from him was that he’d decline the offer. However, if he had asked... ) I stepped outside and called my friend. I told him about the shoot. He couldn’t believe I’d gotten the guy naked and that he was inside getting a hardon. After about 10 minutes I walked back in and he was standing in front of a mirror with a big, thick, 8” hard cock, slight curved and pointing slightly upward! He had an awesome cock! I took a lot of photos of him sporting his hardon, including several with him stroking and playing with his balls and nipples. He was a dripper and I took some closeups of his big cock head dripping precum. I asked him if he wanted some photos of him shooting a load. He said yes. It was so hot watching him jacking off on a bench. He shot a huge load. One hefty squirt hit his face, a couple went up to his chest and several on landed on his stomach. I got one “action shot” of him shooting rope of to his chest. I took several photos of him laying there covered in cum, including his face. We then went into the men’s locker room and I took several photos of him showering. After he dried off we took some of him in the locker room in various pairs of underwear.
I followed him back to his house. I uploaded the photos onto his PC and did some minor edits to the ones he liked. He told me he had no idea how much work it was to pose for a photographer and that he had a new found respect for real models. I saw him at the gym several times after that and we always said hello. A couple of times he thanked me again for the photos.

I have modeled for photographers before. Always had fun. One photographer flew up to San Francisco and arranged to do the shoot at Eros, a gay bathouse, in the morning. They don't open until noon. He had a cute blonde assistant with him that was helping him with the lighting and carrying the gear around. The assistant asked if he could be in some of the photos with me. That ended up being a lot of fun.
I also belong to a drawing group that self models. Everyone gets naked at the beginning of the session and we just rotate who models. The group meets at Eros on Thursday nights. The room is separate from the rest of the bathhouse and they only charge a dollar per person to use the room. Anyone can show up. If you want more information, just send me a message.
I also have modeled for Mark Chester in San Francisco. He is a well known gay photographer. He also had a drawing group. He asked if I would be willing to model for his group. That ended up being more sexual. The last pose they asked if I would be willing to jerk off while they drew me. I was happy to oblige them. I stayed in the same pose and was only allowed to move one hand to keep my dick hard. Of course this is not really normal, but it was a gay drawing groupl that often does erotic type poses. I loved looking at the drawings afterwards. They always do a show and tell.

It's too bad you didn't include some photos of the artwork that came out of Mark's drawing group! I've wanted to model for him too, but the distance between Sebastopol and SF is a little too far for me.

I pose about every week for art classes here on campus.Good money.Don't pose at someone's house.I have had several cases where I had to fight guys off.It became a running away from hands.
I went to college for an art degree and have modeled for classes and for a few generous photographers over the years.
In large settings it can be a little bit intimidating because I tend to get uncontrollable erections around other people. Even if they’re fully clothed. Something about being seen without clothes on turns me on.
Private photos sessions are another thing entirely. Most of the guys want you to get really hard and jack off a little bit. Sometimes for me the hardest part of private sessions is keeping myself from cumming or cumming too soon.
